The presidency has mocked former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over the massive defection which has hit the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
It said the coalition, being spearheaded by Atiku was bound to lose.
This came after former Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, and his successor, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori dumped the PDP.
Responding to the defection on X, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, wrote that the coalition was bound to collapse.
“Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth. Atiku is a loser again,” he stated.
Also, in his reaction on X, a presidential aide, Tunde Rahman said the future looked so bleak for Abubakar’s coalition.
He wrote, "Today, he got his biggest shocker ever. His 2023 election running mate, former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and Okowa’s successor, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, dumped the sinking PDP ship and hopped aboard the APC plane, and by inference, crossed over to the PBAT side.
“Indeed, the counting of PDP governors crossing over to APC has begun. Isn’t Atiku’s coalition dead on arrival? As my people will say, the glimpses of a Saturday that will be good will manifest from Friday."
